A Metro spokeswoman said Metrorail will operate on a Saturday schedule for Veterans Day, although the subway system will be open from 5 a.m. to midnight. Metro says parking will be free at its lots and garages for the holiday.

Virginia Railway Express trains will not operate on Thursday but will resume on Friday. Maryland's MARC trains will operate on a modified schedule; only trains designated with an "S" under the number on the schedule will operate. There will be no Maryland Commuter Bus service.

You are a godsend. I spent twenty minutes on Metro's website trying to figure out when the L-2 bus would run on November 11. There are links to loops, and a mysterious "Holiday Schedule" link, but nowhere could I find out the schedule for the bus or even where to look for it. Your simple column is too much for Metro's home page.
